Heya, it's Nige, the new and improved one I might add! ^.~ I'm back fer good, so get used to seeing my face! Well, here, finally, is the long awaited Chapter 7!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blue and Crystal walked through the busy streets of Marine Town. They were chatting, and trying to get to know each other a bit better before starting a whole journey together, sometimes it's tough.

Finally they arrived at the beach, it was packed, naturally. They chit chatted some more until they got to the S.S. Marine. It was a huge, just boat, the most modern form of transportation when you're going traveling by water.

"So... um, how exactly are we gonna pay for this Crystal?" asked Blue.

"Don't worry!" she said, "A while ago I found a heap of money, it'll be more than enough to pay for the ride!"

"If you're sure," said Blue, still not sure what to think, I mean, come on. A heap of money?

They walked, er, should I say shuffled through the huge crowd, making their way to the amazing, dazzling, huge, and very blue, and I mean the color, ship. They got there and stared in awe.

"It's so... amazing..." said Crystal, looked dazed.

"Yeah..." said Blue, definitely, zoned out.

After the two were done drooling at the beuty of the ship they walked up the board walk to the entrence, where a very distinguished man was standing.

"Would you like to buy a ticket?" he asks.

Crystal piped up, "Yes sir," she said, "we'd like to please."

"That'll be 25,000," he said, and almost snickering, most likely betting there was no way a couple of kids ould have such an expansive amount of money, but, he was very wrong.

Crystal happily pulled out a 20,000 and a 5,000, and handed it to him, he looked at the money in his hand, amazed, then handed them their tickets.

"Thank you very much," said Blue as Crystal walked ahead, remembering his manners.

"Um, yeah, right, um," the man stuttered for a moment, "your very welcome!" he said smiling, and then ran down the board walk with the extra cash he had gotten.

"You sure are generous," said Blue to Crystal, catching up with her.

"And...?" she asked, sounding a little too defensive... then she conked him on the head, and smiled, "Much better."

Blue grabbed his head, "OW! What the hell was that for?"

"THAT," she said, "was for questioning a ladies authority.

Blue snickered to himself, "What lady...?"

They continued bickering until they reached the entrence, there was another man standing there, waiting to take your tickets, they handed them to him, and walked inside. They walked in, and froze. The place was absolutely beautiful! There we great rugs laid out, and tables of Grade S food, there were Chandiliers hanging from the ceiling, everything just looked so beautiful, beyond imagination, you would have had to been there and seen it for yourself to even begin to realize what I mean.

"This place is great!" said Blue, a little to loud, but even though he was loud, all of the other talking pretty much drowned out what he said.

"It sure is..." said Crystal, "and I'm gonna explore evry inch of it!"

"Let's split up then," said Blue.

"Ok, we'll meet back here in... three hours, exactly 5:35 sharp, sound good?"
said Crystal.

"Sound great to me!" said Blue and ran off into the depths of the unimaginable beauty-filled ship.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blue walked along the great long halls of the ship, looking, seeing people selling their Pokemon, battling, trading, discussing them, everything! Then, a man walked up to him.

"Guten Nachmittag," said that man, "Ich heisse Christopher, wie heisst du?"

"Um, no I don't want to buy anything sir..." said Blue awkwardly, having absolutely no idea what in the hell this man was saying.

"Nein! Nein! Halt die Schnauze!" yelled the man, then, looking very pissed, the man walked away.

"Geez, what was that about?!" said Blue, to himself, "What a weirdo.."

Blue didn't let that man stop his fun though, he continued along until he saw a Pokemon battle going on.

"Quick, Scyther, slash attack!" said one man.

"Try and counter with a karate chop attack!" shuted another man.

Blue squezzed through the huge crowd, and saw a Scyther slash at a Machoke, the Machoke tried to parry withhis arm, but just got it slashed, then Scyther attacked Machokes body. Scyther was too fast for Machoke and the attack knocked out Machoke.

"Looks like I win again!" said a man, who looked to be about twenty-five, "Any other challengers!?" he asked proudly.

For a long time there was silence, then, all of a sudden, "I challenge you to a battle!" Blue blurted out.

Blue ran to the other side of the battle arena, "Ok, go... Nidorino!" he shouted.

Nidorino appeared from the Pokeball.

"A Nidorino, eh?" said the other guy, "This should be interesting!"

"Shutup and fight!" shouted Blue, he was getting tired of how cocky this guy actually was. "Nidoran, use your horn attack, then double kick!"

"Scyther, use slash!" said the guy.

Both Pokemon rushed at each other, Scyther slashed at Nidirino, but all he did was hit his blade, because Nidirino had slammed his blade at him, then Nidirino charged at Scyther and kicked it a couple times, moderately damaging it.

"Great!" said Blue, "Keep up the good work Nidirino!"

"Scyther, swords dance, then wing attack!" called the guy.

'Hm..' thought Blue to himself, 'This guy is pretty skilled with his Scyther, I wonder what a good attack would be to counter his quick wing attack...' Blue continued to think for a while, 'Ah, I got it!' then Blue spoke, "Nidirino, focus energy, then headbutt!"

Scyther charged full speed at Nidirino, beating his wings hard, while Nidirino closed it's eyes and started to conentrate, then the two Pokemon charges at one another, full power, and... Scyther flew bvack at an extreme speed and smashed up against the wall, then slumped to the floor, appearently, knocked out. Nidirino was sitting there though, as happy as could be.

"Nido!" it said, it's victory cry.

"Great job Nidirino!" said Blue, as he opened up his arms, and having Nidirino jumps into his arms, and giving him a hug, then Blue recalled Nidirino.

"Well," started Blue, looks as though you've been defeated, eh?" hesaid to the guy with the Scyther, almost mocking him, then walking away.
'Heh, that was really dramatic...' though Blue to himself, then, as he was walking away, he tripped on his shoe strings.

"Aoooohhh...." he moaned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crytsal walked down a couple flights of stairs to the feast room, she had been wondering around the ship for a while now, and was ready for a snack. When she reached the room, she was amazed of it's beaty. It had sparkly clean plates with every kind of food you could imagine. She ran down to the table and got some lobster, salmon, chips, crackers, hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, sirloin, and a barbeque.

After Crystal had got all of her food, she went to find a place to sit, although she had a problem, there was no where to sit, all of the seats were taken, then she saw a huge line of people still waiting to be seated, "Aw man..." she said disappointed. Crystal decided she would just go up and eat her food on the main deck, becides, there was a Pokemon and human swimming pool.

She headed up the stairs, eating parts of her food on the way up, and by the time she got to the pool, she had eaten all of her food. So she then had to go back down one floor to the next trash can to throw away her stuff, but on her way up, she thought she heard something...

Crystal walked over to where she thought she heard the noise, then she eventully came to a door, she looked at it, there was a window, but it was shadowed, she pressed her face up against it, and saw the shodows of what looked like a couple of people, and something else, but she couldn't make out what it was. She shrugged and started to walk away, when she felt someone tap on her back, she turned around. Some covered her mouth so she could talk, then dragged her into the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blue was walking through the hallways of the S.S. Marine, once again, when someone stepped up to him.

"Hello," said the person.

"Um, hey," said Blue, "Who are you?"

"Well," said the man, "I just wanted to know if you'd like to buy this Pokemon from me, "It's right over here if you want to see it..." said the man, leading Blue to a dark corner, trying to to smirk.

"Hmm, what kind of-" Blue was cut off, when they reached the corner the man had covered his mouth.

The man drug Blue to the room where they had taken Crystal, they tied the two up, the left the room and locked the door, with no lights either.

"How in the hell did we end up here?" asked Blue.

"I dunno, I just heard something, then the next thing I knew, I was being tied up in here!" said Crystal, appearently angered.

The two sat in the room for at least three hours, then they felt some kind of earth quake, except on the boat.

"Oh great, how can this get any worse!?" shouted Crystal, nearly crazy.

Unfortunately, what she didn't know, is that it can still get a lot worse......
